Community Picnic in the basket

Many longtime residents of the Platte Valley have fond memories of the community picnics that had been organized by Kendall McBride for several years. John Zeiger, one of those residents, is hoping to bring the community picnic back, beginning this year.

According to Zeiger, he and a handful of other people began talking on Facebook after friends and former classmates passed away about how unfortunate it was they had lost contact with each other. As the discussion evolved, the group decided that it would be a good idea to try and bring back community picnics.
